The maverick-y presidential campaign of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. spent more than it took in last quarter, leaving it with $5.4 million in cash as he enters the general election campaign, NBC News reports. The Super PAC affiliated with Kennedy’s campaign also has $14.8 million in cash on hand after spending $7.7 million despite only raising $7 million.
By comparison, President Joe Biden’s campaign has $117 million in cash on hand; the Trump campaign has not yet released fourth-quarter fundraising data. While Kennedy’s funds won’t support a nationally-viable campaign for president, he can use it to wreak havoc in competitive states that Biden’s campaign cannot lose, forcing it to spend more money to retain voters and voter enthusiasm.
